Liberty receives its funding directly from its customers and funding providers. It makes its own financial decisions and runs more like a business than a maintained or Local Authority school. Liberty has a CEO and a senior management team responsible for managing the highest levels of the school within the Trust.

The board of trustees are responsible for the overall governance, sets the strategic
direction of the school, including setting the vision, ensuring financial stability, and
holding the head of school accountable, and oversees financial performance.
However, the day-to-day management and operations are delegated to the head of
school.

As a Charity Incorporated Organisation, Liberty School:

1. Ensure Transparency: Maintain open decision-making
2. Maintain Financial Responsibility: Conduct audits and provide regular financial
   updates.
3. Comply with Regulations: Adhere to laws governing charities and education.

We are looking for passionate and committed team players to join our Trust as a
Volunteer Trustee.

To serve as a trustee, you must be at least 18 years old, and being a parent is not a
requirement. No specific prior experience in the education field is necessary. We
encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds with expertise and professional
skills in areas such as finance, human resources, auditing, risk management,
information technology, and property management. Above all, we seek
individuals who are enthusiastic, dedicated, and share our goal of fulfilling our
vision.
